Plugging Some Books, part 3

My mom and my husband are my first readers
and they’re pretty proud of me. I think my kids are impressed, though they’re
more stingy with their compliments.

Please tell us a bit about your childhood.

I was an obedient child, followed the rules,
stayed out of trouble (what I mean is: I didn't get caught), and invented time
machines and secret hideaways which were places of refuge, not traps. (I used the idea of secret traps in my psycho thriller EDGE OF ESCAPE.)

Did you like reading when you were a child?

I loved to read. My favorite place to read
was six feet up in a tree in our front yard. That old poplar was so huge that
the trunk was as thick as any six oaks put together.

My Home - Big Pine Lodge

I love all styles of houses, but my dream was to design and build a full log home. This is it and living here is like being on vacation all year.
Our most common visitors are deer, raccoons, and lots of chipmunks. Once in a while we see a fox, turkey, coyote or porcupine and have even seen a wolf print. The bears have stayed away, so far.
Uninvited guests include mice, bats, flying squirrels (one sat on the back of the loveseat and watched a little TV with us) and a porcupine (almost).
